Printers and Cooks.

One who travels much in this coun-
try and stays at hotels gets the inn
preston that the hotel-keepers are
much more particular about choosing a
sprinter than a cook. Probably in no
other country are the bills of fare 81,
fine, so elaborate. so handsome. as
ours. They are often 4 tine-art and
intellectual treat. If a person could
live oman intellectual treat..4 no other
people would be so well feI at hotels
as we are. We DO notspate, language;
French, German, sometimes English,
are impressed into the. service, The
traveller cannot always rea,l his bill of
fare, but that is the FAINT. of his educa-
ton. and lie is lucky IN one thing-if
he cannot tell what htels going to have
he is troubled by no disappointment,
for he can rarely tell what he has had
after he tastes it. a cIamor is now
and then raised that the people of the
United States, so assertiye of their ma
tionality and proud of their language,
ought to have their bills of fare print
ed in English. The sufficient reply is
that they would not look as well. not
have sa much .,style, = not seem TO be
so well worth the money Sometimes
a mixture Of languages has good eff
feet, for it,adds 'intelIigibility to the air
of good society. Atarecent banquet
of the Carpenters Union in large
western city, the ,.menu, among other
curiosities. had this course: PoIssoNs:
turkey, bufa'o,5 tongue, sugar-cuTed
ham. This was naturally followed by
hprs d'eucre. The Introduction of a
little French enlivens dinner, and in
a mixed company wheresthcre may be
those whose faith excludes them from
pork, and conscience may be quieted
by eating ham or fish. The hotels, by
all means, should keep up their style.
1t is easier to get up handsome bill
of fare than a good dinner,. and when
it is inconvenient to haye the latter, we
cling to the former. Those who want
all the bills printed in English are -radi-
Gals, who would drag down the bill to
the level of the dinner. 1t is said that
good wine needs no bush, and the time
may come when q dinner will need no
bill of fare, or only one in English; but
we. are not yet in the Millennium. We
are a reading people, and it is much
more important to our souls that we
should have something to read than
something to eat. - Charles Dudley
Warner, IN Harper's Magazine.

An Arctic Hero Dead.

Lieutenant John w. Danenhower.
Arctic explorer, committed suicide at
the United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis. Md. last Wednesday morn
ing. He was discovered at 10 O'Clock
dead in his quarters with bullet hole
in his right temple. He was found lying
in front of his fireplace with tag
tied to his button-hole saying, "Send
to my brother at Washington" Insan-
ity is supposed to have been the cause
OF the deed Lieut. Eisenhower was
about 81 years old and a native of
Chicago. He entered the Navy in 1886
and was attached to the United States
steamship, Yandalia during her cruise
in the Mediterranean in 1867 when
General Grant with his family was on
board and visited the Holy Land. 1t
was before this cruise that the
Lieutenant began to show signs of an
unbalanced mind and his malady soon
assumed form so violent that in the
year 1885, after he had been found
wandering inaNorthC Carolina wilderness,
his friends deemed it expedient to secure
proper treatment for him by combining
him for about two months in ST. Eliza
beth's Insane Asylum near Washington.
He was among the first of the officers
who volunteered to go upon the Jean
nette Arctic Expedition, and His suffer-
ings on this Inflated cruise are still
fresh in the public mind The crushing
of the Jeanette in the pack-ice. the
separation in p gale of three boats con-
tanning the officers and crew, the star
walton of Commander DE Long and his
boats crew, the loss Of Lieutenant
Chipp's boat, and the terrible suffer
ing and final rescue of Melville's party,
are matters of history. Melville and
Danenhower were the only officers no
survived. After his return to the
United States in 1882 he was granted
years absence, and during this time
he was married to a daughter of
Senator Sloan of Oswego, N. Y. AT the
time of his death she and their two chill
dren were with her parents. His do
mestic relations were the happiest. In
September 1884 he was assigned to the
position which he held at the
time ofhis death. A few days ago he
was at Norfolk, Va, looking after the
equipment of the practice ship, Con-
stellation, and il is now recalled by
officers who met him at the Navy Yard
that he was very morose and dis.
traught, and the opinion was freely ex.
pressed that he was suffering from an
attack of his old malady. The Con-
stellation was grounded on her way to
Norfolk, and 1T is thought TINS accident
and the talk 81 a court-martial, preyed
upon his mind.
During the year following his return
from the Arctic regions Lieut.. Danen-
hover delivered number of lectures in
different parts Of the country. He lee
tured here 10 Hyde's Hall on the even
ing of January p 1884. He was
elassmate at the Naval Academy of
Lieut. j. A Barber.

VIM. Doherty had his leg broken
recently by falling down shaft in
the Dickens mine. The accident
was caused by one of the rungs of
the ladder having been broken by a
rock from a blast put off by Mr..
Doherty, and gentleman working
with him-they waiting in the level
a few feet above until after the
blast went off. Mr.. Doherty went
up last (the other gentleman as
cended safely and when he took
hold of the broken rnng it gave
way and he fell to the bottom of
the shaft, a distance of thirty-two
feet, with the result above stated.

IDAHO REPORTER.

Our readers will remember the
drowning of Hiram Ward and a
boy named Fox, while attempting
to cross the treacherous Snake, a
short distance from this town. The
body of the boy was recovered
shortly thereafter, but Ward could
not be found. Last week some
boys saw what they at first thought
to be the body Of a man lying in
the edge Of the water across
slough. They finally decided that
it was only log. Subsequent in
vestigation, however, proved the
first impressions Of the boys to be
correct. 1t was the body of man.
The boys at once came to town and
notified the proper authorities of
their CHASTITY find, and the body
was brought in, when Justice Hop
kins held an inquest thereon. 1t
was the body Of Ward, and al

there now.

SHOSHONE JOURNAL,

Mrs. VIM. Murray, who was re-
Gently shot by her husband, is
slowly recovering, or at least doing
as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. The
facts of this attempted y murder
prove Murray to be a cold-blooded
heartless brute, who planned and
premeditated the shooting for some
time. During the day of the shoot
ing he tried several times to get her
out of town to take a walk, in order
to kill her. Failing in this he hand
ed her a pencil in the presence of
Mrs. McCutcheon and when Mrs.
Murray began writing he stood
over her and watched the paper.
Then he began to curse her, lashed
himself into a fury, remarking,
you must think am coward"-
a rather peculiar expression for q
big bully to address a girl 16 years
old, unless he,was not only.a cur
but a coward also. Then he drew
his revolver, when his wife rose TO
her feet and looked him in the eye
and said, "You are a coward" just
as he fired. The pistol was not
more than three feet away and the
ball entered just to the left of the
mouth, broke the jaw bone and cut
an artery in its passage through
the neck. Murray is about SO to
3S years old, was recently in charge
of wrecking car on the Short Line,
was formerly of Colorado where it is
said he killed two men. Murray
is now in Jail at HALEY, and says
he was out of his head when he did

Sung Lie, bias-eyed heather,
who claims the person of a celes-
tial heather named All Kan as a
portion of his goods and chattels," "
was arrested by Constable Mourn
ing last Monday and taken before
Justice Peck on a charge of assault
and battery upon the aforesaid All
Kan. The prisoner had number
of witnesses ready to testify that
he had always treated the young
maiden in the most decorous man
ner and sung more lies to the
square inch than even expected of
the average heather when in the
presence of the court. 1t was
plainly evident that the woman
was badly scared and afraid to
testify, but when the friends Of the
prisoner were sent out of the room
she told plain unvarnished tale
of cruel wrong and personal injur-
les inflicted upon her. The judge
decided that Sung Lie needed quiet
and repose and fined him 800,
who, not being able to raise the
amount, was sent to iail for fifty
days, disgusted with a country that
interferes with man for whipping

IDAHO CITY WORLD.

A Chinaman living on the other
side of Elk creek, three or four
hundred yards from town met with
an accident last Tuesday in a way
that is very uncommon. He was
standing in his doorway, smoking
his pipe of peace, and apparently
as secure from any kind of an ac-
cident as it is possible for man to
be. The first warning he had of
danger was the Zip" of a bullet
which struck him in the shoulder,
but having lost a great part of its
force in the long distance of its
aerial journey, struck the shoulder
bone, bounded out, and fell at the
Chinaman's feet. The Chinaman
gives the following version of the
affair: Suppose gun go bang
no hittee me, me no sava him shoot
maybe. Him hittee me, me
thinkee then me hearee he. You
heap savaw Some one, probably,
fired off gun or pistol, not think

PROOF OF DEATH.


Have the supposed corpse in a
perfectly dark room, then procure q
bright light, take the hand of the
corpse, hold it near the light and
try to look through the hand. If
the hand has a pink look there is
surely life, but if the hand has the
look of clay, or you cannot see
through it, death has taken place.
Another way is to inject a drop of
ammonia beneath the skin, if death
has taken place it will have no
effect, but if there is life a small
red spot will appear at the place of
injection

Young Mems Meeting.

AT the afternoon meeting for young men
only yesterday afternoon, at the Young
Mems Christian Association Hall. there
was an unexpected and very pleasant sur
prise in the presence of R. G. Morse and Gill
bert Colgate, of New York City, who are en-
route to the Convention at San Francisco.
and laid over in our city for day. Mr..
Colgate is connected with the well-known
firm of that name in New York, and Mr..
Morse is the General Secretary of the In
ternational Committee. Both gentlemen
took part in the meeting, which was led by
Geo. o. Hayford. Earnest prayers were Of
fered for the approaching International Con-
ventlon IN San Francisco. In his remarks
Mr.. Morse said the association began in
prayer, was the result of prayer, and con-
hnued in prayer. During the years from
1850 to 1870 it was mainly young mems
prayer-meeting. Since the latter date it
has worked more, and we see the results to-
day. When the last Convention was held
at Atlanta, Ca, in 1885. there were Sc
buildings owned by the association now
there are 50, gain of 46. In all other de-
partments the growth of the associations
has been equally marked, till here in Cali
fornia upwards of 800 delegates will come
from all parts of the Union and Canada to
confer as to its future usefulness It has
been well said that the Young Mems Chris
tan Association is the distinctively relig-
ious work of the nineteenth century. At
the close of the meeting the visitors were
shown the State Capitol, and taken for a
drive around the city, with which they ex-
pressed themselves much pleased. A large
party en- route to the Convention are ex-
pected to pass through Sacramento to-mor-
row.
